We are vastly different people today

We have seen worse times than we're facing in the world today. Situations in many ways were more desperate, but we have not faced them with such a generation of people with weak resolve.

When we were facing such great difficulty, we had a strength of resolve and resiliency that we just don't witness in today's era. It truly is the result that you should anticipate. We have been doing everything possible to create this total dependency in the population.

To a large degree that vision has succeeded. We faced the Revolutionary War, Civil War and Cold War; all had the potential to destroy us. The difference is we're not the same kind of people. We yield more and more to the temptation of the European socialist state, the point of which is to create weak and passive populations, what de Tocqueville referred to in Democracy in America as Industrial Sheep. Unfortunately the sheep are no longer industrial, they are just sheep. They're wandering around, looking for someone to tell them what to think and what to do.

We now have a mentality among the populace that nanny government must care for their every waking need. This is the dangerous attitude that is tearing us apart at the seams.
